"Having worked with a multidisciplinary professional practice in Dublin and a private practice in the midlands for a number of years I have always understood the importance of the Chartership qualification. However, it was not until I opened up my own practice in 2007 that I fully appreciated the full benefits that the Chartership gives me. One of the first questions that most commercial practices and clients ask me is “Are you a full member of the SCS?” I consider the Chartership to be essential in order for me to generate business and get instructions especially in the current economic climate. It is the industry benchmark in terms of qualifications”.

“I am travelling the world at present and I am currently based in New Zealand. Having an internationally recognised qualification like the Chartership has helped me greatly in terms of securing relevant employment in surveying while abroad”.

“I graduated from college in 2007 and I currently work with Irish Estates Management Ltd. I have almost one year completed of my APC. Already I can see that the Chartership is the ‘Gold Standard’ in terms of qualifications for the industry that I work within. While it is a demanding process, it provides me with a focus and structure to develop my surveying skills and I really enjoy the challenge”.
